So I present to you: Who Knew, Everdawn, Flick ‘Em Up, Night of Man, Ra, Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization, Tyrants of the Underdark, VIII Corps: The Somme 1916, Wombat Rescue, Nefarious, Apotheca: The Secret Potion Society, Back to the Future: An Adventure Through Time, Dungeon Time, Bear Valley, and Millennium Blades.

My dad was actually drafted during the Vietnam conflict (since, y’know, there was no declaration of war ever signed. Just as there hasn’t been since WWII). He trained at Fort Knox in the mechanized infantry. He learned to drive an APC. He never actually made it to Vietnam, itself, though. His orders were sent to the wrong base when his time ran out. Strange to think that I probably wouldn’t be here if those orders had gone to the right place. Anyway, ’65 is a new squad-based board game that recreates the early battles of Vietnam. They’re up on Kickstarter now.Continue reading →
